20-year-old boyfriend refuses to share his Goodreads username with girlfriend despite her insistence: ‘Half of the books in my library are guilty-pleasure reads that I don’t really want to share’
Are you allowed to keep some social media pages to yourself? Everyone is allowed to have guilty pleasures. In fact, I think we should stop calling them that. There should be no guilt in consuming the things we like to consume. Obviously, it brings us joy, so why should we apologize for that? Why should …

Mom goes back to work after two years at home, stay at home husband refuses to adjust chore duties to reflect that: ‘I have not been having issues’
The boring stuff defines the quality of any long-term relationship. Grand romantic gestures and expensive gifts are nice and all, but they only make up a tiny proportion of the time spent in most serious relationships (and sometimes, they don’t even get a look in). The true measure of whether somebody cares about you and …

Mom chases dream pharmacy job, husband disagrees because working hours will stop her spending time with their 1-year-old daughter: ‘Are you crazy?’
A good partner is a supportive one, but that doesn’t mean that they’re always going to agree with you. One of the main challenges in any relationship is that there are almost always going to be times when you have different opinions on big decisions. It’s only human, and finding a way to work as …

Woman refuses to sign a no-pay NDA sent by a now-elected official Ex, she had a brief 3-month campaign romance with years ago: ‘I was 22 at the time and he was 24, I figured I’d never have to see him again’
A rising politician tried to mail his past a shush order and hoped the paper would do the emotional labor. This is what happens when someone upgrades from messy twenty-something to polished public figure, but keeps the same instinct for control.

35-year-old has partner move into his fixer-upper, demands she pay for renovations when she already contributes mortgage and bills: ‘He feels like I’m not helping out’
Paying a mortgage that doesn’t have your name on it is rarely a wise idea. It’s one thing when a tenant is paying a landlord, and their financial situation means that they have no choice but to rent. When it comes to relationships, though, it is important to really think things through and consider whether …

When couples have different ideas about how life should look, it’s never easy or simple. But when one side, in this case, 31-year-old Ethan’s side, spends $15,000 on a van so they can escape ‘normal life’ without even asking the other side. Well, that’s pretty straightforward if you ask me. We all have different views, …
